It is the first time that I discovered that the word "Sarazin" or "Saracin" is in fact only a transformation of "Sarakin" which is the transcription of the Arabic word meaning "thieves". As is the case with the word Assassin which means "Men of the grass" (hashish).

actually Assassin comes from Arabic but it has the same meaning of some one who is a murderer of an important person in a sudden surprise attack for political or religious reasons

[@rhetoric5173]

Well Assasin is taken from Hashashin word that describe Shi'ah Ismailiah in alamut fotress, their kind like to consum kind of drunk plant called Hasha. Political strugle in Seljuk dynasty blame them when some top political leader get killed. Thats why we use Assasin to killer now day

[@Nimrod20012]

Hassasins Means Guardians

[@AK-dd9od]

Saracens is a Crusader reference for Levantine Muslims, and is literally derived from the phrase "Sara('s) sons"/Sara sens = "Saracens", i.e. "the sons of Sara". Sara was the mother of Ishaq ("Isaac"). "Isaac" was the second son of the Prophet Abraham. The Israelites trace their lineage to "Isaac". After the defeat of Byzantium by the Muslims, vast numbers of Christian Israelites (and Jewish Israelites) accepted Islam. The Palestinians and other Levantine people were thus referred to as "Saracens" by the medieval Crusaders.

@@RS-le7yd You missed the whole point of the video. The Muslims were inspired by the Romans and it came full circle. The Gothic style is still a european style, as it is not 100% the same as Islamic structures from which it took inspiration from.

[@RichardEdwards40]

The Muslim Arab conquerors of Persia (today’s Iran) had been ignorant Bedouins from the desert with a level of civilization well below that of the Zoroastrian Persian Empire. They had been as astonished by the cultural level of the Zoroastrian Persians as they had been by that of the Christian Greeks. As the great Tunisian historian Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) noticed, “Where are the sciences of the Persians which Umar ordered to be wiped out at the time of the conquest?… The sciences of only one nation, the Greeks, have come down to us, because they were translated through [Caliph] Al-Mamun’s efforts. He was successful in this direction because he had many translators at his disposal and spent much money in this connection.” These translators were Christians from the former Christian Greek Roman Empire. Ibn Khaldun also remarked that the majority of Muslim scholars were non-Arabs from the conquered nations, and that most of them were Persian.4 Speaking of the Muslim presence in North Africa, Ibn Khaldun marveled at the fact that “the buildings and constructions in Islam are comparatively few as compared to the dynasties preceding” Islam, especially “considering Islam’s power.” He observed that the “buildings erected by Arabs, with very few exceptions, quickly fall into ruins.” The reason for this, he wrote, is the Arab Bedouin’s “attitude and unfamiliarity with the crafts.” “Therefore,” he continued, “the buildings [of the Arabs] are not solidly built.”5
